65. Assessment Cyberguide For Learning Goals And Outcomes
    Presents the latest revision of Bloom s taxonomy. Using the New Bloom s taxonomy to Design Meaningful Learning Assessments Kevin Smythe Jane Halonen  
    http://www.apa.org/ed/new_blooms.html
    
    Extractions: YAAWYNNN. Oh no, that dreaded signal that students give to let you know they aren't engaged in the learning that you have planned. To reduce disengagement, teachers move beyond lecture in search of new ways to engage students in the learning process. Engaging students requires mechanisms that increase class participation and facilitate higher-order learning. The purpose of this segment is to provide teachers with some tools for promoting higher-order learning. Developing higher-order thinking skills in students is not an easy task. Historically, teachers have looked to Bloom's Taxonomy (1956) for assistance. Bloom's model divided thinking skills into lower-order and higher-order knowledge. The early taxonomy began with knowledge, understanding, and application as lower level skills and cast higher level skills as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Bloom's Taxonomy Revisited Although Bloom's Taxonomy proved useful to teachers and students alike, recent decades gave rise to numerous criticisms, implying that the model was out of date. These criticisms included concerns with setting applicability, contemporary language, and process conceptualization. More recently, Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) have adapted Bloom's model to fit the needs of today's classroom by employing more outcome-oriented language, workable objectives, and changing nouns to active verbs (see "stairs" below). Most notably

    Extractions: The taxonomy of Socratic questions, created by Richard Paul, is not a hierarchy in the traditional sense. The categories build upon each other, but they do not necessarily follow a pattern or design. One question's response will lead into another category of questioning not predetermined by the teacher/facilitator. In keeping with the PBL philosophy, this aspect of the model is most conducive! The role of the skilled teacher/facilitator is to keep the inquiry "train on track," but, also, to allow the students to "travel to a viable destination" of their own design. The following table has been adapted from: Paul, Richard, Critical Thinking: How to Prepare Students for a Rapidly Changing World, Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence Questions of Clarification Questions that Probe Assumptions Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence What do you mean by ?

The original authors are no longer at the University of Leeds, and the former Centre for Human Biology became the School of Biomedical Sciences which is now part of the Faculty of Biological Sciences In the last lecture I introduced the general ideas of evolution and taxonomy. Now it's time to look at how this relates to the evolution of humans. (# slide of geological time scale) To some extent, factors shaping human evolution started back at the creation of the universe. Certainly, the origin of the earth is important, as is the first life appearing on it. From there, we have the origin of complex single celled organisms (protozoa), then multi-celled organisms (metazoa), animals with backbones (vertebrates), first land vertebrates, and even mammals. Traditionally, however, we limit the study of human evolution to the study of just our own mammalian order: that of the primates (order primata The aim of this lecture is to discuss what a primate is, and to introduce you to the range of primates present in the world today. I will show you some pictures, but I don't expect you to remember all the names, and you certainly won't be asked to identify any of these animals in an exam, but an appreciation of the wide variation in these animals is essential for when we come on to discuss how they, and consequently how we might have evolved.

68. Curiosities Of Biological Nomenclature
    Etymologies, puns and funny sounds and wordplay in taxonomy.  
    http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/taxonomy.html
    
    Extractions: Mark Isaak Scientific names of organisms are not usually known for their entertainment value. They are indispensable for clarity in communication, but most people skip over them with barely a glance. Here I collect those names that are worth a second look. Some names are interesting for what they are named after (for example, Arthurdactylus conandoylensis Godzillius ), some are puns ( La cucaracha Phthiria relativitae ), and some show other kinds of wordplay (such as the palindromic Orizabus subaziro ). Some have achieved notability through accident of history, and many show the sense of humor of taxonomists. The names which are recent additions to this collection will be shown in a brighter shade of red. (How recent depends on how often I update. I'll try to keep the newest names distinctive for about a month.) Rules for assigning scientific names have become well codified in order to keep the names internationally unambiguous and understandable. The full set of rules is rather involved, but the most important parts are fairly simple: Binomens - A genus name is one word. A species name is binomial the genus plus a second word. Subspecies have a trinomial name (a "trinomen"). A subgenus is occasionally given in parentheses after the genus, thus:

    Bloom s taxonomy of Learning Domains Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor domains, free training material and explanation of the Bloom theory.  
    http://www.businessballs.com/bloomstaxonomyoflearningdomains.htm
    
    Extractions: Bloom's Taxonomy, (in full: 'Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains', or strictly speaking: Bloom's 'Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives') was initially (the first part) published in 1956 under the leadership of American academic and educational expert Dr Benjamin S Bloom. 'Bloom's Taxonomy' was originally created in and for an academic context, (the development commencing in 1948), when Benjamin Bloom chaired a committee of educational psychologists, based in American education, whose aim was to develop a system of categories of learning behaviour to assist in the design and assessment of educational learning. Bloom's Taxonomy has since been expanded over many years by Bloom and other contributors (notably Anderson and Krathwhol as recently as 2001, whose theories extend Bloom's work to far more complex levels than are explained here, and which are more relevant to the field of academic education than to corporate training and development). Most corporate trainers and HR professionals, coaches and teachers, will benefit significantly by simply understanding the basics of Bloom's Taxonomy, as featured below.

    http://www.ops.org/reading/blooms_taxonomy.html
    
    Extractions: PURPOSE To apply Bloom's theory of developing higher levels of thought processes to everyday classroom reading. EXPLANATION Many students are directed to read narrative or expository selections for classroom assignments for the purpose of answering factual questions. This type of reading for literal comprehension is often emphasized because of the ease and equity of evaluation. The emphasis is limiting because many students do not develop a personal attachment to books they read. They do not see reading as a bridge to their imaginations, a way to understand how others live their lives, or a method to gain self-understanding and evaluation. Questions that teachers ask can direct the students to the realization that reading has a greater and more diverse purpose than just the simple recall of facts. If this can be accomplished, it is likely that students will place a higher value on reading, continue to turn to it for pleasure and as a resource, and will establish it as a life-long habit. PROCEDURE For any assigned reading selection, develop questions that reflect the progression of thinking and responding from the literal level to the evaluative. Not all levels need to be developed for every selection. Consider a range that will lead the student to the greater purpose of reading.

This project has started on the 1rst of March 2006 and will last 5 years. Taxonomy provides the basis for understanding biodiversity. Overcoming the taxonomic impediment involves both having enough trained taxonomists and having taxonomic information available to those who need it. The project objectives are to help to reduce the fragmentation in European taxonomic research and expertise and to coordinate the European contribution to the global taxonomic effort, in particular the Global Taxonomy Initiative, through an integrated initiative aimed at improving society’s capacity for biodiversity conservation.

    Extractions: ICSP Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Rhizobium and Agrobacterium The species listed here are all of the most current validly published names for the rhizobia, which currently consist of 62 species found in 12 genera. Rhizobia are nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form root nodules on legume plants. Most of these bacterial species are in the Rhizobiacae family in the alpha-proteobacteria and are in either the Rhizobium Mesorhizobium Ensifer , or Bradyrhizobium genera. However recent research has shown that there are many other rhizobial species in addition to these. In some cases these new species have arisen through lateral gene transfer of symbiotic genes.
